i had the same problem.In total 7 duplicate gmail accounts only way i coul;d get rid was not to restore the messages after a hard reset
[Touch HD General] Digital Outcast:
When switching roms you always want to restore with merge level 1. I am 90% sure if you do a hard reset and restore with that merge level you will not have this issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] slonzor:
Hey, quick question. Should you be able to root the sapphire exactly the same way as the dream by first downgrading to the early android builds, or will a new hack have to be found?

I'm wondering whether to get a magic or not, but I'd want to root it and there doesn't seem to be any documentation on it yet.

Cheers, Luke
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MontAlbert:
bumping this as i probably wont get one unless i can root it..... although root doesn't offer much extra now with cupcake....

You'd get Superuser access, which would allow (amongst other things) Wi-Fi Tethering and the taskmanager - two programs I really, really want to use!

Here's hoping one of the smarter lads get their hands on one of these soon! I'd donate!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mannyb:
Wifi tethering, screenshots, taskmanager, (proper) themes.. all good reasons to go root.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smeyerhuky:
Downgrading wouldn't help, as there is a lack of the physical keyboard on the magic to type in commands through the terminal exploit in the rc29 and lower android build. (without 1.5 there is no keyboard functionality without adb (read about this Project)

One think I like about this forum. Is that info taken from one thread can be used to help another thread...

Maybe we can root the magic using the adb shell commands they have discussed there. Its theonly thing I can think of to enter anything into the phone without a physical keyboard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Matschkeks1988:
Yesterday I did some research on my Magic about rooting it.

I think it's not very easy. At least not as easy as with the Dream.

The Google Terminal emulator doesn't work on the Magic due to the lack of the physical keyboard. So I used the adb shell and discovered the following:

/system/bin/sh is executed as user "shell". So we can't do anything funky with it. You can't even view all the config files in /etc or change into every directory you want :(

The sdcard is mounted with gid and uid 1000 which is user and group "system". It is also mounted with nosuid and noexec. So we also have no chance of executing stuff from it.

I wonder where these groups and users are coming from since there is no /etc/passwd :confused:

A portscan revealed that there are no daemons listening on the wifi interface -> No possible exploitation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] georgefrs:
Perhaps porting one of the early Dream roms that can easily be rooted and then taking advantage of their vulnerabilities will be a more feasible solution? I know that without the physical keyboard there would be no way to type but it might be possible to configure a build with a custom app that runs at startup and performs the necessary keystrokes for you. Just a suggestion mind, no idea if its practical.

I'd quite like to be able to use the wifi tethering apps as well, and whatever else may be released in the future that takes advantage of root capabilities.:)

Does anybody know if a Bluetooth keyboard works? ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sangeet.003:
the telnet application has an textbox so textbox allows virtual keyboard & if telnet app is configured to run like terminal emulator means just skip the connect method it would give same functionality as the terminal emulator...

wouldnt matter anyways. The but that let us gain root is patched, and I doubt they made the exact same mistake twice.

You Can root magic just as any thing else htc makes.This is true that it has no real keys but it can run the terminal app you dont need telnet never did and never will. to root a htc magic (sapphire) all you need is sdk a fresh copy of dreming.nbh Adb or Term app what ever you perffer and some time i wont go in to spec. wrong thread but i will affter i up date android root with mike But it not theroy its fact.......that any htc android will and can be upgraded any knock off androids like *sigh* samsung,motorola,nokia blah.blah the will have to wait for there network updates lol because all new non htc phones wont have this perk. htc uses the sdcard rom upgrade to check system and function of the phone. lil fyi MAGIC CAN BE ROOTED

Well your device can still be saved, you should try the steps below.

1. Put your device in bootloader (3 colored screen)

2. Connect your device using USB to your pc running WindowsXP and Activesync 4.5

3. Try running the RUU again.

If it fails again:

4. Check if your battery is still living (mine was allmost dead and I could not flash it.

5. Try a tutorial from this forum for SID unlocking your device.

edit;

The part I didn't get is the NBF file error.. Perhaps you downloaded the wrong ROM?

Recover your iPAQ 91x with HP's ROM Update Tool on Windows XP/Vista/7

Hi guys,

I have just bricked my iPAQ 914c while mistakenly installing Manila BETA 0.5c whis is for 614c.

Here is another thread about recovering but since I am on Windows 7, my system gave BSOD while trying this method.

P.S. Driver files were 10 years old, from 1999 :)

Forget it....

Her is the new and if you ask me, the perfect, easy and the secure way:

1- Download the latest official ROM from HP:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp43001-43500/sp43434.exe New ROM!

2- Don't install it, extract is using WinRAR, 7Zip..

3- Inside the sp43434 folder you will find a file called "hpRUU.exe". Right click>Properties>Compatiblity Mode>Windows XP SP3>Apply>OK, again Right click "Run as Administrator"

4- Accept the agreement and click "Next", the software will look for iPAQ 914c state....

5- Connect the USB Cable (Device is turned off)

6- Now press Volume UP (Left side) + OK (Right Side) + Power Button

7- Device will Boot up in RUU Mode since it is connected to PC via USB Cable. During boot up while hpRUU.exe is looking for device stage, it will find your device and ask you to update.

8- Press "Update" and the process will begin. After flashing all the parts, which takes about 5-10 Minutes, your device will be up and working...

Note: Somehow if the update process gives the Code 402 USB connection error, close the hpRUU.exe and then open the "Configure.ini" file. Inside that file edit the TIMEOUT value to "1000". After that start the procedure form the beginning.

The rest is up to you :)

That's it. Thank you for reading.

Special thanks to sergious for creating Manila BETA 0.5c ROM for 614c. Without his ROM I couldn't brick my 914c and you were not going to get this tut.

[Sable] bangelius:

Would that works on Windows Vista ?
[Sable] sergiorus:

OMG was it for 614c? I mean i am not kidding, seriously I thought it was for 914c :D

Nevertheless we have a new guide. :)

i want to ask about the last HP update for iPAQ 910 the sp43434.exe ..

when i try to flash with the binary file it says mine not compatible with the update.. so i tried to flash with SD boot load .. but it just make things worse, my ipaq is bricked.. so i wanted to go back to BJ's motherloads rom thru SDbootloader but no success..

after i read http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459123

i finally got out from boot screen..

i haven't try to download image of sp43434.exe into my ipaq using DNW.. is there's any chance?

or should i wait ROM author to adding the update into his/hers latest ROM?

what with sp43434.exe update? is it major update?

and why my ipaq is not compatible? (mine is FB051AA#UUF)
[Sable] cool_recep:
First of all i have no idea about DNW. But the sp43434.exe is not a major update...and it is not for your ipaq. Anyway....never mind...install WM 6.5 :)

I had issues after installing the ROM from HP. I did the SD loader method which did not work. But I still mnaged to get out from the RUU mode by pressing camera+volume up.

I tried your method. Still did not work. Now I am stuck ni RUU mode. Tried getting out of the RUU mode to try other mthods but this time I can't get out of RUU. Uhmm.. any known solutions?

i've formatted my stock sd card to 700mb on ext2 and the rest on fat32. and i've tried using haykuros instructions to move my apps to sd and used the apps-to-sd app. but im not sure if my apps are on my sd? how would i know if they are.. and how would i check?
[G1 General] theorion:
Pretty easy! Go into settings and chek up on the sd storage amount left, now notice the phones memory, and see how much room is left on that one! If its 65+ im pretty sure you transfered your data!

Then if your into terminal and this kind of os, you could verify by going to /system/sd/ and see the folders, go into them and verify that there are in fact applications in these folders, should prob be more than just one folder btw!
[G1 General] santela:
Just install a big app, and see if there's any changes in ur phone storage.

Well! Using the command su before trying to go to sd usually fixes that issue ;)

ls -l

it doesnt say app-private -> /system/sd/app

is that bad? how do i fix that?

i used haykuros symlinks setup :/

nevermind i fixed it.. hopefully its working :)

one question.. what if i flash a theme onto my phone... is that bad?

UPDATE: ok so it says app-private -> blah blah

and it says app -> blah blah

and when i run an app and take out sd card phone freezes..

why is my internal memory still going down? its 48 now :(
[G1 General] pablizzo:
did you move the caches over to sd card also? maps, market, browser etc... if not then maybe thats y

[G1 General] TheMan42:
Im using the unionfs method and when I issue those commands into the terminal it doesn't say what you guys said it should say, is this due to it not using symlinks?

I have been looking through all the settings on the D2 to manually change the screen to landscape as I used to be able to do on the Touch cruise but without success the G-Sensor is a bit of a hit and miss and only works on some programmes. I would like to use landscape with Navigon 7 anyone know how to do this ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Tk-:
The TF3D interface does not work in landscape on default, there is an app available for it here

you can go to settings>all settings>system tab>screen and change the orientation, somehow this only works one time for me, it just changes back automatically.

in Navigon (I don't have this) there is probably an option where you can change the orientation

edit: change the orientation to landscape in the screen settings, and then start navigon.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulls:
Tnks for the reply TK tried the tweak did not seem to do anything apart from restarting the D2 there are no settings in the screen tab for changing orientation just alighn, Cleartype and Text Size.

will have to keep looking.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Tk-:
somehow the tweak options end up in the all programs list, found under Manila Rotate On/Off.

maybe this option came with one of the programs installed ^^
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaBountyHunter:
After you do the manilla landscape you soft-reset and then it should be there for you to rotate stuff. Another app to try out is G-Config. Search for that on the forum. You can add automatic rotation to apps that don't support it after you add them to the list you soft-reset and then try it again. I've managed to put MSN, Skype etc on it.

Okay, I downgraded back to wm2003, made it so total storage is 60mb. Now I upgraded back to wm6.5 explode. So now I just unhide, unlock and then just copy the extrom zip file to the extended_rom file???

Actually, I was reading another post of yours, and I remember you saying to put the /extrom folder in a sd card?? I dont remember reading that in the wiki. But anyways you think you could provide me with instructions on how to do that. I have the sd card.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
by resizing the old extrom folder to (probably) 128kb, as suggested in the wiki, you don't have the old space to park the extrom, still the sd card has an autorun, as you might have experienced before, if for example there is a folder 2577 on the card, whatever is in there runs, when the card is inserted, but don't mind about that, just an example.

you have a file extrom.zip or something comparable, just unpack it and put it on the sd card, so that it shows EXTROM\ with a bunch of cabs in there and a cfg.txt, an autorun.exe and a picture custom.bmp.

- the autorun.exe is what executes the entire thing when inserted

- the cfg.txt holds the config, meaning it describes what happens there, there is a list of cabs in there, and how to process them,

- the cabs are the installation files of the programs to be installed, if you are uncertain, whether you need each one of them, maybe googling the name helps you determine that.

- the custom.bmp is the picture showing while installing the extrom and so rather uninteresting for you.

remember to make sure, the list of cab files in the folder is the same as listed in the cfg.txt, having it downloaded and extracted that is the case by default, but if you want to customize it, remember that simply copying the files into the folder is not enough, they need to be listed in the cfg.

i personally for example remove the adobe reader and arcsoft mms from extrom and put own apps in there.

every program in there is installed to the system storage, so make sure you don't stuff your device with to many apps that maybe you don't need.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Tada1228:
